Newcastle 0 - 0 Arsenal - Post match thoughts


Recommended Posts

Feel crazy for saying this but very dissapointed with that result. It was a boring game we definitely could have and should have nicked 1-0. That's us all but out of Europe, safe from Relelgation. I'm predicting 10-11th place finish.

s*** result considering we could have won the game at a canter if we could play football in any capacity

 

in our current state of "footballing capacity", could we have asked for more?

 

Yeah, a win. If we couldn't then we may as well sell half the squad.

If only Duff could shoot. :(

 

If only Martins could control a ball, etc. No point blaming individuals the only player who stood out going forward was Solano, everyone else was shit and it cost us the game.

 

I'm not blaming him, simply saying if he'd have managed to put away one of those chances he had, we'd have won.

I have to laugh at some of you saying shit result, tell me this would yous have taken 0-0 against Arsenal after the Man City game last week? after a win we all of a sudden are top 4 material again it would seem to some.

Played neither particularly bad nor particularly good ......Butt, Taylor and Salano stand outs for us. Rest blew hot and cold would have taken 4 points from last two games so cant complain.

 

Milners cross/shot Salanos double clearance best moments of poor game.

Arsenal were there for the taking today, that's the only reason people are disappointed.

First-half diagnosis?

 

Boring

 

Second-half diagnosis?

 

Boring

 

Full-time diagnosis?

 

Decent Result, Crap game

 

Star man for United?

 

Butt

 

Worst United player?

 

Carr

 

Opposition comment?

 

Contributed the same to the games as us - very little

 

Toon-pros?

 

Clean Sheet

 

Toon-cons?

 

Given/Dyer injuries

 

Post-match feelings?

 

The players are looking to the end of the season by the looks of it, gives most of them time to put their houses on the market in readiness of a move

We're absolutely s*** going forward. Sell Emre and Butt get in Sidwell + a central attacking midfielder who can play football.

 

Butt did his job today. Emre did not.

 

Yeah but if we're getting Sidwell in then may as well sell Butt he'll be 32

 

Is Sidwell a holding player though? I thought he was more of a Parker - ie no particular speciality.

 

Parker is a very good holding player imo, if we played him like that; he's an excellent tackler. Sidwell I'm not overly familiar with but I've seen enough of him to tell you he'll make more creative passes in a game than Emre did in that one.

only very slightly aggrieved considering the fact that the Arse were on a bad run of form. but as i mentioned earlier, could we have expected more ?

i love the club and i expect a lot from it as many of us do. however, a decent, solid performance is the best i can come to expect from us in recent times.

The Arse are freaking weak mentally, didn't show enough desire to win this. a draw's  a fair result i'd say.

I can't believe people are picking Butt for MOTM. I guess if we have fans that daft maybe that's why we're pretty shit at football.

Parker - tackling + passing = Sidwell

 

from what I can tell

 

Figure that Sidwell is actually the kind of player that Roeder wants Parker to be.

Sorry, but Carr was far from being the worst player and I hate his guts!!

 

Gooch was much worse, for one.

We played a half decent game,it was mainly down to the fact that Arsenal played shit today,as ever

 

My Ratings :-

 

Given (6), Had a decent half an hour,before injuring himself

Carr (6), Looked solid,Hleb caused him very little trouble today

Gooch (6),Full of errors,but had some good moments

Taylor (6) looked decent,wasn't troubled by Arsenals poor attacking

Solano ( 8 ) Saved the game for us with two fantastic off the line clearences

Butt (7),Worked hard,some nice tackles and touchs

Emre (7) Tireless worker,needs to play more

Milner (7) Brilliant dribbles and couldve scored one of the goals of the decade

Duff (6),Poor,some good runs but missed a hatrick of chance's to score

Martins (7),Some fine runs,no real impact

Dyer (6),one or two runs every now and then,no real impact,got of injured in the seconed half

 

Subs:-

 

Harper (6),Didnt have a save to make all day

N'Zogbia (5),As a seconed striker behind Martins!,was really poor

Luque (5),Its good to know he is still alive..Should've been brought on eariler..

 

 

Overall,Boring game,we played for a draw and got it,lets just hope that Dyer,Given won't be out for long..

If it can't be seen that Solano was MOTM then we'll never get players who can play football in the squad again for a long time.

Butt and Emre both did pretty decent jobs, just could have done with Emre pushing on a bit, his passing was fine nonetheless. Nzogbia was shit when he came on. First time Iv seen Gooch's throw, quite impressive!
